Bristows Clotted Cream Fudge

Clotted cream has been a staple of British cuisine for centuries, possibly introduced by Phoenician traders. Traditionally, it is made by slowly heating fresh cow’s milk, allowing the cream to rise and “clot.” This method extended dairy shelf life before refrigeration. Bristow’s, founded by Ernest Bristow in his home kitchen in Devon in the late 19th century, built his confectionery business by capitalizing on the local abundance of clotted cream. This clotted cream fudge, with its soft texture and subtle nutty flavor, is one of his original creations.
